Horipad Driver Install
Get Driver
Microsoft instructions: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc
Follow Windows 7 steps under: Download and install Xbox One Controller driver
You must use Internet Explorer
Get the one called "Microsoft - Other hardware - Microsoft Xbox One Controller" that is for AMD64 (i.e. 64-bit).
If 7-zip is on the PC, use that to expand the contents of the .CAB file.
Install - First Controller on the PC
Plug in control
It will not find one anywhere, so you can tell open the New Hardware wizard and click 'Skip Searching Windows Update'; otherwise you will be waiting forever.
Open Windows' Device Manager; find the Horipad controller; right-click and select 'Update Driver'; then browse to the folder where you unzipped the .CAB file.
It will take a while to install (this is another point where you can tell it to 'Skip Searching Windows Update'.
Once the Gamepad is done, it will then search for a HID driver. Not sure if 'Skip' can be used in this case, so let it finish on its own.
NOTE: if driver fails with error 37, then the problem is that the wdfcoinstaller01011.dll is not in the C:\windows\system32. the installer copies it to c:\windows\system32\driver instead. so copy wdfcoinstaller01011.dll from c:\windows\system32\driver to c:\windows\system32
Install - Second Controller on the PC
Plug in control
Since you have the driver already installed, you can open the New Hardware wizard and click 'Skip Searching Windows Update' for the gamepad.
It will then install the HID portion, again you can 'Skip Searching Windows Update'.
